Incredible! Most authentic and delicious Indian food I've had. I had the lamb curry and garlic Naan, and my buddy had the butter chicken. Both amazing!

This is an excellent Indian takeout restaurant. The selection is limited but very good. Reasonable prices. Small but clean sitting area if you want to eat in. I would recommend for quick basic favorites.

The butter chicken was good, the chicken tikka masala was so bad… the garlic nun and tandoori nun also felt like frozen ones. They don’t even offer water and serve the food on the go to plastic container. The only good thing was the mango lassi.

Not really into Indian food but Taaza is a good place to try out some Indian dishes. Food is not spicy at all although I'm sure they could accommodate your spice level. Found it flavorful at decent prices. The mango smoothies are made with yogurt that gives them a smoothness that is very tasty. Overall was very satisfied.

It's below average place with very ordinary taste. Contrary to seeing a couple of old reviews about their poor food quality by serving frozen food etc. We still decided to try out this place, to give them a fair chance.Regrettably, we also found their food quite disappointing! They serve frozen, packaged food with one extra step to make it look as if its cooked fresh, they will spend few minutes to give it a masala tarkaa, frying etc. in a pan instead of microwaving it! How I know because they don't have any cook working in the kitchen, hence serving frozen, packaged food saves them money and serve their purpose.Certainly, they serve Frozen Naans, again with one extra step, toasting it well, brushing the top with melted butter and sprinkling it with some cilantro flakes, Garlic, and sesame seeds to give it a Fresh look ! Owners claim of serving Fresh Naans is absolutely rubbish because they don't even have any Tandoor in their Kitchen ???Probably, they can fool Non- Desi customers by these greedy tricks, serving frozen, old food. But, anyone with an Desi background can easily spot their goof up!!You can see yourself, how the have very smartly denied previous similar honest reviews. Afterall there is something fishy going at this place right! Another hint, if u pay a close attention to their entire menu items, you can clearly spot, their menu only includes those items which are easily available in frozen packaging at all Indian, Pakistani food stores. Owners only care about making $$!If they are truly honest, let's see if they can let you watch from a distance when they are making your food! I guarantee you, they will never agree to this because they have something to hide!I hope, the owner will take this feedback positively and try to rectify these issues instead of keep denying these facts. We want to give you business, but in return you have to make an honest commitment to start serving freshly made food instead of frozen, packaged food.Lastly for my Muslim friends, Owners advertising their business as serving Halal, Muslim food. I highly doubt this claim too because, Since when Muslims started playing Bajans, Ram Pooja at their places. I witnessed this twice myself when I went there before lunch hours they were playing these Hindu Religious stuff. With all due respect, its fine you can do whatever you like, but just don't pretend to be like Muslims to get Muslim customers and serving them Non Halal items!Dears, just remember the old saying "You can fool someone sometimes but you can't keep fooling others all the time".

The worst Indian food I have ever had. Asked for mild spices and did not get that. Everything poorly cooked. Will never go here again. A waste of $77

Grabbed some Chicken Vindaloo and garlic naan this time around. Everything is delicious, and while I got take out, I find the presentation is still respectable. We’ve had the chicken tikka Marsala and butter chicken before and thoroughly enjoyed both!

Worst Indian food ever had. We had ordered chicken biriyani , sheek kabab and many other dishes none of the dishes tasted as Indian cuisine . I must say about chicken biriyani it was like Masala Jeera rice with chicken and that chicken was not cooked properly. It was really horrible experience.

I ordered from Taaza for the first time today. Excellent flavor and texture. I ordered samosas and they were light and crispy on the outside and soft and hot and nicely spiced on the inside. The bhindi masala and rice were delicious! The bhindi were soft and the sauce was delicate and full of intricate flavors. The naan was a meal almost itself! The price was exceptionally reasonable as well.I will definitely be back very soon!
